yes. it is in a list of zbus devices with known manufacturer/product id
pairs, but there's no driver for it that works.

"Finish writing the code". It's probably an oversight that it was committed
to the tree back then at all.

No idea. We have, on a GENERIC kernel, /dev/audio0 & /dev/sound0 on the
builtin audio, and /dev/audio1 & /dev/sound1 on the ZII Melody. Teach it 
to use /dev/sound0, is my guess to what you need to do.
